About the Maintenance System Paperwork Audit

A robust maintenance record system is the foundation of safe and compliant vehicle operations. The DVSA expects every operator to keep accurate, complete and easily traceable records that demonstrate a vehicle’s roadworthiness history.

Our Maintenance System Paperwork Audit examines the documentation and controls that support your maintenance activities. This includes PMI inspection sheets, defect reports, driver walk-around check records, repair documentation and records held by third-party maintenance providers.

The audit identifies missing information, procedural weaknesses or inconsistencies that could expose your business to enforcement action or licence review. You will gain a clear understanding of where improvements are needed to achieve a fully auditable maintenance trail.

Who Should Use This Audit

This audit is suitable for:
  • Operators of HGV, LGV or PSV fleets who manage their own maintenance or outsource it to approved contractors.
  • Maintenance managers and compliance officers responsible for documentation control, inspection scheduling and system oversight.
  • Transport managers who must demonstrate to the Traffic Commissioner that their undertakings are supported by robust record-keeping.
It is particularly useful before a DVSA inspection or an internal compliance review, helping you identify potential issues before they become costly problems.
